In this video, we discuss men’s mental health—the confusion, the silence, and the rising emotional weight that too many carry alone. Being a man today isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. The rules are shifting, and many men don’t know where they stand.
This episode offers clarity and guidance amidst the confusion, with real talk, powerful statistics, and practical reminders. Sam reflects on how masculinity is changing—and what men actually need: compassion, community, and care, just as much as those they give it to.
Whether it’s finding space to breathe, opening up to a friend, or sitting quietly with your own thoughts—this is an invitation to show up for yourself, and others, with honesty and heart. You deserve to feel lighter. You deserve to feel seen.

For sons, fathers, brothers, and mates everywhere—this one’s for you. 👊
